U.S. Military should get Nobel Peace Prize

Should the U.S. Military receive the Nobel Peace Prize?Many, including Roman Joch, believe so. Joch once penned the memorable observation that the Nobel Peace Prize should annually honor the American military for its profound role in promoting global security.

The U.S. Military's Enduring Role in European Security

I wholeheartedly agree with this sentiment, even though I wish I had coined it myself. The American military, along with our NATO membership, remains the primary force ensuring that we are, and will continue to be, Europeans. Without America’s unwavering support, the very existence of our independent state would have been at risk.

America’s Pivotal Contributions to Our Independence

  • 1918:The United States was instrumental in the creation of Czechoslovakia, making our independence a reality.
  • 1945:America, together with the Soviet Union and Great Britain, led the defeat of Hitler’s regime. Without their alliance, our nation’s survival would have been doubtful.
  • 1980s:Through military pressure and strategic support, America ultimately helped trigger the collapse of the Soviet empire, granting us our freedom once again.
For the third time in history, thanks to the United States, our nation gained or regained independence.

Conclusion: A Case for the Nobel Peace Prize

The evidence is clear:America’s military presence and steadfast alliance have consistently secured peace and independence for countless nations. It is only fitting that the Nobel Peace Prize should recognize these profound contributions, honoring not just ideals, but the enduring commitment of those who defend them.
